Topic: Parents Don’t Know What’s Best for Their Children ....

... sayeth the education "expert".

“Educators go through education for a reason,” Squires said. “They are the people who know best about how to serve children. That’s not necessarily true of an individual resident. I’m not saying they don’t want the best for their children, but they may not know what actually is best from an education standpoint.”

Committee chairman Tom McMillin, a Republican, seemed taken aback by Squires’ comments.

“Wow … Parents don’t know what’s best for their child?” McMillin asked.

“I said they may want what’s best for their child (but) they may not know,” Squires replied.

Squires’ comments are noteworthy because they give parents and citizens a window into the minds of the nation’s self-proclaimed education experts. Despite their talk of “collaborating” with parents to reform public education, the establishment honestly believes that parents are too ignorant and ill-informed to choose the best learning option for their child.

Not only that, but they believe charter schools and cyber schools are consuming tax dollars that rightfully belong to the government-run public schools. They argue that the only thing preventing traditional public schools from producing amazing student results is a lack of money.

They claim to “know best about how to serve children.”

The facts suggest otherwise.

If some parents don't know, it's because they went through the "education" establishment that failed them and is now failing their children.

Somebody needs to depose these "experts" ...

Yup.  Don't tempt me; I already quick-edited (graphic) it once already.

 Phyllis Schlafly wrote a book exposing the educators' mindset using their own words and documents.  I believe the book is no longer in print.  I was still a kid in school when I read it.  After I read it I no longer had any trust in the school system and certainly was disabused of the notion that the people running the schools actually cared about the kids. 

But the truth is even worse than they don't think parents know what's best--that's a red herring--they don't want parents anywhere near their own kids.  These educators want to control and influence the kids.  They seek to convince parents they're incompetent and should turn their kids over to the educators.  They despise parents who want to be involved in their kids' lives.

If she is not willing to participate in the sacrament of liberalism
the ignorant dolt is obviously too provincial to properly raise a child. 
Therefore all said children shall be rescued by protection services,
conveyed to the expert educators nurtured and at the breasts of the
enlightened. 

It's part of the plan.
